TheWadamisaki Line (和田岬線,Wadamisaki-sen)^[1] is abranch line of theSanyō Main Line, operated byWest Japan Railway Company (JR West) and connectingHyogo on the main line andWadamisaki.

The 2.7-kilometre (1.7 mi) line has only two stops, and only operates during morning and evening, and mainly serves commuters to theMitsubishi Heavy Industries andMitsubishi Electric factories in the Wadamisaki industrial area ofKobe.

Although the line is officially part of theSanyo Main Line, there is no regular through service between the branch and the main line, and Wadamisaki Branch trains depart from a separate platform at Hyogo. Because the line has no intermediate station and Wadamisaki Station is unmanned, all fare collection is conducted at Hyogo. The line makes just two daily roundtrips on weekends, with additional trips for events atNoevir Stadium, the home stadium ofJ-League football clubVissel Kobe.
